Is it a balloon ? Is it an alien?.... No, it's a suncatcher.

﻿ ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿It's really interesting how different people see things in this world, especially when it comes to art. When making this suncatcher I thought I was creating a sky with a balloon. I didn't know this simple image was open to interpretation. I had this on display at a recent craft fayre and was talking to guy I know from my old arts group. He picked up the suncatcher and says 'I like this. I like the alien'. Bemused yet slightly amused at this comment, I smiled politely. He then went on to say 'You know, if you could make one like this but perhaps make the aliens ears a little pointier and the jawline more defined, i'd buy it' I didn't quite know what to say to this comment but well they do say the customer is always right!
